Snake that already had its head cut off, bites the chef trying to cook it and kills him!!!

How this happened is beyond me. A snake that already had its head cut off, bites the chef
trying to cook it and kills him. Full report below...
A chef preparing a dish from cobra flesh died when the snake's head bit him - 20 minutes after
it was cut off.

Victim Peng Fan had been preparing a special dish made from the Indochinese spitting cobra, a rare delicacy in Asia where eating snakes is
commonplace.
But when he went to throw the snake's severed
head into the waste bin, it bit him - injecting him
with its fast acting venom.
Police say Mr Peng died before he could be given
life saving anti-venom in hospital.
Customers who were eating in the restaurant at the
time have described screams coming from the kitchen as the tragedy unfolded.
Restaurant guest Lin Sun, 44, who was in the restaurant with his wife Su at the time said: "We
were in the restaurant having a meal for my wife's
birthday when suddenly there was a lot of commotion.

"We did not know what was happening but could
hear screams coming from the kitchen.
"There were calls for a doctor in the restaurant but unfortunately by the time medical assistance
arrived the man had already died. After we heard that we did not continue with our meal."

A police spokesman said:
"It is a highly unusual case but it appears to be just an accident. He prepared the snake himself and was just unlucky.
"There was nothing that could be done to save the
man. Only the anti-venom could have helped but this was not given in time. It was just a tragic accident."

The snake was being diced up to be made into snake soup, which is a delicacy in the area and a
much sought after dish in high-end restaurants.
China has seen a rising demand for snake products, not only in restaurants but also for use
in traditional medicine.

Snake expert Yang Hong-Chang - who has spent 40 years studying cobras - says all reptiles can
function for up to an hour after losing body parts, or even their entire body.

Mr Yang said: "It is perfectly possible that the
head remained alive and bit Peng's hand. By the
time a snake has lost its head, it's effectively
dead as basic body functions have ceased, but there is still some reflexive action.
"It means snakes have the capability of biting and
injecting venom even after the head has been
severed."

South Korea becomes first East Asian Country to Legalize Medical Marijuana

South Korea has become the first east Asian country to legalise medical cannabis in a surprising move to expand the treatment options for patients with epilepsy and other rare diseases in the conservative country. The country’s national assembly approved amending the Act on the Management of Narcotic Drugs on Friday to allow non-hallucinogenic doses of medical marijuana. Still, using weed even for medical purpose will be strictly controlled with patients required to apply to the Korea Orphan Drug Centre, a government body facilitating patient access to rare medicines, after receiving a doctor’s prescription. Approval will be granted on a case-by-case basis, according to the country’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. South Korea has some of the toughest rules on cannabis consumption with citizens prosecuted for using weed in other countries where recreational marijuana is legalised. Under the country’s anti-drug laws, smoking and trading marijuana remains illegal with th...
